First Legendary Dragon: Starting With The Limitless System - Chapter 481

Chapter 481: Ancient Sword Formation
She paused slightly, “Actually, this sword also has quite a history behind it. Long ago, it was the sword of a famous sword master…”

She continued to talk about the history of the sword, making it sound as if it was a historical relic and not buying it would be a huge loss for everyone.

Some of the young ones in the hall were already eager to buy the sword while the old ones looked calmly at the scene. They had already witnessed such scenes countless times.

All these auction houses liked to exaggerate the stories of the items they sold. But most people couldn’t refute these because these stories also had some truth to them, just not as glorious as these people made it out to be.

Orion also looked at the scene with amusement, but he didn’t focus too much on it since he wasn’t interested in the sword. No matter how good its history was it was merely a Tier 8 sword. He wasn’t interested in such swords, even if there were Tier 9 weapons he wouldn’t bat an eye.

He calmly watched as the bidding for the sword began. But what he didn’t expect was the sword being sold for 70,000 High Grade Mana Crystals.

‘…Is this why Grandma is so rich? Runesmiths are really drowning in money…’ he nearly drooled seeing a ‘mere’ Tier 8 sword being sold for 70,000 HGMC.

Even Tier 8 demon corpses didn’t sell for so much. But it was also understandable, after all it was during an auction and the prices for weapons would be much higher than mere materials like demon corpses.

‘Fortunately Nyss got the mana crystals after selling those demon corpses, otherwise I would only be able to look at the auction…’ Thinking to himself, he inwardly lamented at his own poverty.

‘No! This can’t go on. What kind of prodigy am I? How can I be so poor? I need to quickly find a way to make money. Magi is out of commission now so I can’t drain the Limitless Heaven much, otherwise it would be problematic if some problem arises. Magi was there in normal times to take care of it, now…’

He couldn’t help but think of Magi, how he missed his ATM car— dear friend, hopefully he would become better soon.

The auction continued as Rose displayed one item after another. There were all kinds of stuff: weapons, armors, ores, herbs, alchemy formulas, some low-level cultivation techniques, spell books, even miscellaneous items like treasure maps and such.

Orion also bought a lot of stuff, mainly herbs and ores for his practice. Some of them were quite rare and hard to find even at the capital so he directly bought them here at a higher price.

By now, Rose had nearly sold 100 items, and she soon took out another item, but this one was somewhat special. There were nine broken swords on a large tray with a book in the center.

She picked up the book and softly said, “This is one of the best treasures of today’s auction in my opinion. This is an ancient sword formation manual suitable for those who have comprehended advanced sword aura. But unfortunately, most of the contents of the manual are missing and lost in the river of history. As for further details, you can know after buying it. The starting bid is 5,000 High Grade Mana Crystals and each subsequent bid must not be below 500 High Grade Mana Crystals.”

The crowd looked at Rose speechlessly.

“What the fu— You want us to buy nine broken swords and a tattered book for 5,000 High Grade Mana Crystals??”

“You might as well rob us, there is no value in this book.”

“Is your auction house trying to scam us?”

The auction house lit up with buzzing noises of the crowd. After all, in their perception this was clearly a trash book with no value. Since they couldn’t learn it then what was the meaning in buying it?

Orion looked at the book with interest and inwardly said, ‘Let’s see how it is, if it’s good enough then I won’t mind buying it. I can slowly complete it on my own anyways.’

He tried to activate Eye of Revelation to see how much it would cost.

[Unknown Manual detected. Total Cost to view the details = 10,000,000]

His lips violently twitched seeing the absurd price displayed in front of him, ‘What the fuck! Is this some divine art? It’s not even complete.’

[Master, the cost for looking at things at a higher tier than you increases by 10 times normally at Awakening Grade. But from Awakening Grade to Exalted Grade the cost increases by 100 times, and from then on it increases by 10 times again.]

Orion quickly calculated, ‘So this sword formation is about at Supreme Paragon Grade?’

She replied with an unsure tone, clearly not being able to answer him properly,

[I think the remaining tattered book is at Supreme Paragon Grade. The entire formation might even be at a higher grade…]

Orion took a deep breath and decided to get this sword formation. Even if he couldn’t learn it, it would be good to broaden his horizons.

“5,500 High Grade Mana Crystals.” He softly said from his private room, his voice drowning all the noises from the main hall.

All the people in the main hall looked at private room number one, wondering where this rich deity came from that he was just throwing money everywhere. They had clearly seen him bidding dozens of times by now and he had not lost a single bid.

“Which fierce person is this?”

“Don’t you know? That’s the private room of the Blackwell Family, so it must be someone from that noble house.”

The others softly discussed.

But before Rose could even say anything, another voice sounded from another private room, “6,000 HGMC. I’m interested in getting this antique formation. I would be grateful if this friend can give me some face and let me have this.”

Orion didn’t even bat an eye and continued to bid, “10,000 HGMC.” He didn’t even bother to reply to him.

The private room fell silent before snorting coldly and continued to bid, “10,500 HGMC.”

“20,000 HGMC.” Orion was quite interested in seeing how far the other person could go with him on this bidding war. He didn’t mind spending some money since he was out to relax his mind.

But clearly the other person was not going to play with him and went silent. From the looks of it he felt that the sword formation was not worth that much money and he also didn’t want to offend the Blackwell House.

So he went silent and didn’t continue to bid.

Rose saw that the scene was cooling down as she quickly said, “This sir bid 20,000 HGMC for this ancient sword formation. Is there anyone else who would like to bid? This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. You might even become an unrivaled swordsman with this formation…”

She continued to speak a few more lines before seeing that no one else was interested in this tattered book. Inwardly shaking her head, she said, “20,000 going once.

“20,000 going twice.”

“20,000 going thrice! SOLD!”

Orion waited in his room as one of the girls behind him went out and bought the sword formation. After seeing that it was the same thing, he paid the money and put the sword formation in his storage ring. He decided that he would check it out later.
